...forth by the Washington-based nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest and adapted from guidelines by the National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity, a coalition of more than 275 American nutritional and health organizations, including many state health departments. While acknowledging that not all foods marketed to children can be nutritionally perfect, the guidelines establish acceptable limits for fat, sugar and sodium content. Foods were determined to be of poor nutritional quality if more than 35% of total calories came from fat, or if they contained more than 35% added sugars by weight. The sodium content...

They're an irresistibly lucrative target - children under 12 are estimated to spend more than $25 billion a year themselves, and may influence another $200 billion that is spent. But there's no doubt that some of that spending contributes directly to childhood obesity - 32% of American youngsters are overweight, and 50% of the calories kids under 18 eat come from fat or added sugars.

And she glows with the pride of the American psychic who has just vanquished a visitor from the East...
...Britain is rich, but a sizable minority of its children live in squalor, their prospects occluded by their bad start in life. Social mobility is low compared with other advanced nations - 31% of children in inner London and 22% nationally are growing up in poverty, which will only increase with spiraling fuel and food costs and a stuttering job market. More than 9% of 16-to-18-year-olds are not currently enrolled in any form of education, employment or job training...
